You ran Deals Gap three times this morning and are about to head over to the Blue Ridge Parkway. From its beginning in Cherokee, North Carolina, to the far end in Fishersville, Virginia, it's 469 miles of summertime bliss. You've just finished beating on your tires and now need them to take you thousands of miles home.

That's why sport-touring tires have the toughest job there is. These motorcycle tires have to last a long time and provide excellent grip for machines as varied as the BMW R1200RT, Kawasaki Concours 14, and Yamaha FJR1300, as well as smaller machines. Easy, right? Maybe. But the development is not the work of a moment. Pirelli expended substantial development effort on the Angel GT to serve long-distance riders who demand the grip of a sport tire by leveraging the experience gained with the popular Angel ST and from the Italian company’s racing with the Supercorsa lineup. With a new tread pattern, updated rubber compounds, and revised construction, the Angel GT gains grip and longevity in one stride. Maybe there's time (and tread) for one more pass over the Dragon...

Continental's latest sport-touring tire is the ContiRoadAttack 3. You don't need to be a numerologist to realize it's a development of the RoadAttack2 Evo, but what the number doesn't tell you is the tire's strong emphasis on wet-weather performance. Continental gave the ContiRoadAttack 3 motorcycle tire additional silica in the rubber compound and a heavily revised tread pattern with grooves all the way to the edge of the tire that give water a clear exit path from the contact patch. The result? Better grip on wet pavement. At the same time, Continental updated the RoadAttack's profile for improved steering response.

A more durable multi compound promises more consistent handling from the first mile to the last. And to improve durability, the rear tread pattern has a continuous, uninterrupted strip of rubber down the center. Zero-degree steel belts help the tire maintain shape under load and promote stability without sacrificing compliance over bumps.

Adventure-touring motorcycles are a delicious combination of on-road comfort and off-road capabilities. If you're here, you know that already. But finding the right set of tires that provide good wear characteristics, comfortable highway cruising, and suitable off-highway performance is as big a challenge as packing half your closet into a pair of Trax Adventure side cases.

Avon's TrailRider, which replaces the popular Distanzia and is classified as a 70/30 tire (70% street / 30% dirt), has a SRS (super-rich silica) compound that helps the tire grip in the wet and in low temperatures. At the other extreme, SRS reduces excessive heat buildup so a hot day on the road doesn’t leave your tires sweating. The radial rear TrailRider is made with a multi-compound tread with a harder center section for increased mileage compared to more dirt-oriented tread patterns, and sticky shoulders for peg-dragging on pavement. Interlocking three-dimensional points hidden in the tread sipes improve stability and grip, limit tread flex, and help the tire warm up quickly. The TrailRider benefits from Avon’s high-tech carcass construction and next-generation compounds to deliver an outstanding combination of grip and wear in a street-oriented adventure tire.

Features:

New Super Rich Silica (SRS) Compound using the very latest compounding technology to enhance wet grip

Multi-compound treads on radial rears to enhance mileage and grip

Interlocking three dimensional points hidden in the sipes to improve stability and grip, limit tread flex, and allow the tire to warm up quickly – 3D SIPES (radial tires)

On pavement, the A40 instills riding confidence to help you power out of corners (even in wet conditions) keeping you focused with excellent stability at speed. The aggressive tread design performs admirably off the beaten path to ensure you'll be smiling even with a little dirt in your teeth.

Here’s an essential truth about high-performance motorcycle tires for sport-touring machines: Not everyone who rides a sporty motorcycle is lucky enough to have a twisty road at the end of the driveway. Most of the time the fun stuff lies at the other end of miles of boring freeway riding, and that’s tough on the sticky compounds of sporty tires. Avon’s Storm 3D X-M has a solution, combining soft, grippy shoulders with a long-lasting center tread to deliver up to 20 percent better mileage than the Storm 2 Ultra.

The Storm 3D X-M uses interlocking three-dimensional points hidden in the tread sipes to limit tread flex, the enemy of both handling and mileage, and improve stability. The 3D sipes also help the tire warm up quickly, which is handy on those days when your enthusiasm overrules your judgment only a few miles from the garage. The high-performance single- and multi-compound SRS (super-rich silica) tread works great in the rain, which is great for hard-charging sport-touring riders who don't let a little precipitation get in the way of a vacation. The rear Storm 3D X-M uses a tri-compound extrusion that gives you high mileage and confident cornering. Available in all the popular sport-touring sizes front and rear, the Avon Storm 3D offers high grip and durability in one package.

Combining the best characteristics of Continental's renowned TKC80 street-legal knobby and its much more street-oriented TrailAttack2, the TKC70 splits the difference. It offers a quiet highway ride and very good pavement traction, but with a more open tread pattern than the TrailAttack2, the TKC70 is more capable off the highway. For riders who spend the majority of their time on the tarmac but want the capability to venture into mild off-road situations, the TKC70 is an ideal choice.
